sooo confused now what to do


Recommended Posts

right im confused n i cant make my mine up now, basically i have a wepr power up kit , short fmic , mani etc but after seeing steveGT thread with his crank oil seal going whilst running a hybrid has kinda put me off fitting one lol

my idea was nice short fmic and a nice hybrid turbo = little lag,lotsa power :thumbsup:

but then i was doing more research and now found out that a hybrid at 1.2/3 bar is the same as like a td04 at 0.8bar power wise but the td04 is a little laggy but how much laggy is it ?

so is it now worth me selling my power up kit n gettin a td04 kit ? cause the way i see it is , same power but less boost = less strain on engine

and is it true that you cant run 1bar on a td04 with a standard engine ? god im so confused on what to do !! oh and what ever option is best i will be running externally

cheers guys please help lol i wish i knew someone with a td04 so i could see the difference

There is several discussions on TGTT about this very subject dude! You can run a stock engine with higher than 1 bar of boost but it isnt advised because it normally doesnt last long! Steves was through a crank seal not being replaced, not just because he was running a hybrid. IMO its entirely down to personal preference. Ive got both turbos.. JUst gonna dabble a bit with both :thumbsup:

hmm i wana go hybrid for the fact that its like instant power n im pretty much complete now with the build

but then i know my engine isnt the strongest and i dont want it to die :thumbsup: lol

but then after running the strip last weekend maybe a td04 will give me a better time ?? hmm i like the hybrid route as its easier to install etc

ARGH!! ima have a look on tgtt

nah deans means a new manifold etc i contacted him as that was my original plan

dont the oil n water lines on the td04 need to be changed though ? i thought it had to be made to run 2 oil lines in/out instead of one being water or something

its the same as ct9 mate, 1 oil feed, 1 oil return and 2 water lines

You don't need water lines on tdo4

You have to clock the turbo so oil return pipe facing down!

Go hybrid mate that ct20/ct9 turbo that's for sale is the tits and bargin for 200 ask shorty he had one to at some point
